I've got the same card here. I first got going with it with 3.3.4 and back
then the docs stated that you could either have it in 8bit or 24bit and,
even then, the resolution choices were limited. I don't have a pointer to
this info to hand but if you look on the XFree86 web site you should find it
(that's how I found it).

I don't know if this limitation has changed with 3.3.5, I only started using
it on Monday so I'm still running with my 3.3.4 oriented configuration which
gives me 1280x1024 at 24bit. This does mean that Netscape only displays b&w
toolbar icons but I can live with that.

Anyway, have a good scan of the XFree86 docs and the hardware information
lists on the XF86 web site, you'll find the info you need.
